We Are the Goldens by Dana Reinhardt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really liked this book. Told from the point of view of the younger sister, Nell is speaking to her older sister, Layla, through the book.
The girls are 17 months apart and it’s clear that Nell idolizes her older sister and wants to be just like her. When she finally arrives at City Day for high school, she starts to see her sister a little differently. But, then, her sister is having an affair with their art teacher.
The book explores the depth of their bond and how far Nell will go to cover up for Layla. Nell’s best friend, Felix, is a good sounding board for her but she even keeps Layla’s secret from him until the very end.
A story of the bond between sisters and growing up. I highly recommend. 🙂
